AGM Chairs report 2021 ## THURSDAY 18 NOVEMBER 2021 Thank you all for coming and I promise to only take a few minutes of your time this evening. Firstly I’d like to welcome you on behalf of myself and the staff to Lunsford Preschool, Having been a part of the preschool as a parent and chairperson for the past 7 years, I am very passionate about this preschool. I speak from personal experience and assure you that your children will flourish here. The main focus of this meeting is in relation to us becoming a CIO, this is ongoing and the process has been started, unfortunately there is a hold up with the Charity Commission. The preschool is charity run so we rely heavily on fundraising events and the generosity of local businesses and for this, although our fundraising ideas will be restricted, we would still like a team to help us raise funds. I would like to thank the staff for continuing to work at a high standard and to continuously provide high quality care and education to all the children. Being involved with their first insight into the educational system is truly amazing. I am happy to continue as Chair, I am enjoying being chair and would like to be re-elected to continue to make the pre-school succeed over the next year.
